It appears that X-FORCE will be coming to a theater near you! The “X-Men” film is being developed at 20th Century Fox, and just three months ago, the studio registered it’s future website address at X-ForceMovie.com. This is usually how future X-Men film titles end up getting leaked. Going off previous talks with “X-Force” creator Rob Liefeld and producer Lauren Shuler Donner, things may be looking good for Cable to be brought into the mix.

“You have to remember that Fox grabbed the X-Men back in the ’90s because it was the biggest franchise in the world. So X-Force or Cable or Deadpool — all these amazing characters are things we haven’t really gotten to yet. ‘X-Force’ #1 was the second biggest book of all time behind Jim Lee’s ‘X-Men’ #1, so there’s an immediate brand recognition to that stuff and a build in fanbase. You go to any convention in the world, and you’ll see 20 people dressed as Deadpool. In a lot of ways, these are Marvel’s coolest characters, so I want to remind people of that and build on what we already have. I think there’s a great foundation, and just from basic conversations, we’ve come up with ten movies we could do. These things cost $150 million each to make, so we have to pick and choose what we want to do.”

On other hand, recent LatinoReview article suggested that X-Force could be part of Days of Future past apocalyptic timeline:

I think the strongest material out there for characters and themes is definitely Remender's Uncanny X-Force, I'm a huge fan of the 90s Lifeld X-Force and the Yost/Kyle run as well but UXF is some of the best X stuff ever written. That said, I think they gotta have Cable here....and people are gonna wanna see Deadpool.....and Domino goes too well with both of them, so can't leave her out if they are both there.

But I'd be more then cool with a mix of any of these characters: Cable, Deadpool, Domino, Psylocke, Fantomex, Warpath, Boom Boom, X-23, Cannonball, Wolverine or Siryn.

Yeah,I don't think Bishop was ever a member but he's been a villain a few times in X-Force books. Betsy just fought him in the current Uncanny X-Force. Shouldnt be an issue adding him though. It's not like they stick to completely 100% accurate rosters haha. He makes sense on that team.

I think we will definitely have Psylocke in there. High demand to see her.

They better use the same characters and actors already signed. It would be way to go, connecting movies and developing characters just introduced.

When we already have Warpath, Sunspot and Bishop signed... we dont need a whole different cast for X-Force, you know just adding Cable and Domino, they would have a seriously BAD-ASS team.

If they want another female, they can introduce Psylocke too, or use Blink again, and thats it.

I hope we get ties as well. Personally I don't think they would need Sunspot. He may be a villain in DOFP. Depends where they go with him. I think the three they really need added are Cable, Deadpool and Domino. Those three really just go well together.

Really? Thought I read that somewhere. Maybe I'm not up to speed on the DOFP news...

I don't think he will play that big of a role and will be out after DOFP. But I really don't know enough about what they are doing in DOFP. I'd rather see other member's added to X-Force personally. Always thought he was better on New Mutants. Nothing against Sunspot, he's a cool character. Just others I would rather see.

I'm sorry, but I hope Deadpool won't make his first, real big-screen debut as one of many characters in a team-up movie. I want him to make his big debut in a solo film. It's not happening? No problem. I can wait. I'll wait for 2025 if that means they'll get a "Deapool" movie right by then!

Glad I'm not alone. There are so many characters they can do justice in an X-Force film, who are less independent, work better as part of a team, and have many more ties to the X-universe than him. I think he'd be wasted. And even if you spin him off, you'd be watching a movie about a character you've already seen.

This is also quite a coincidence, as I just said this (I'll quote myself) in the Deadpool movie topic, before the X-Force rumors hit:

And we all know how Marvel has a penchant for using him mostly in team-ups, and as anarchic element in their bigger stories, bouncing off their other characters (thank God for Brian Posehn & Gerry Duggan giving him actual stories again!), and that's the last thing I want to see on the big screen. I want to see Deadpool as a full-fledged comic/tragic character, his own supporting characters, existing in his own "universe," facing his own freaking demons, and not just have him as comic relief in different stories.

The Cable Deadpool run was some of the best Deadpool stuff out there besides Kelly's run and it was all based on team work. Not to mention Deadpool started off fighting X-Force. I see nothing wrong with this. If anything it should help get that film.

Did any of y'all read Uncanny X-Force??
Cuz I don't care if he was part of a team, it's the best Deadpool has been written since Kelly's Deadpool run
If they could possibly adapt UXF as is, it would be amazing.
I'd rather see him in that context than, say, an adaption of Daniel Way's deadpool.

That said, this is Fox, so the only thought that springs to mind about this news is:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

No complaints there. Remender nailed every note with the character...and the series.

Domino, Deadpool and Cable have always worked well together and against eachother in the books.

And I wouldn't be against Cable or Domino appearing in a Deadpool movie, if there's a good story to support their appearance (as there have been plenty in the comics) and we're not just talking about fanboy-service. But I'm not interested in seeing Deadpool as comic relief in a (bigger) team movie. I find him more interesting when he has his own space, and his own story, which explores every possible facet of him. And as I've said, I can wait for a Deadpool movie. I don't really need anything like this to make the process faster.

P.S.: I wouldn't want a movie based on Daniel Way's Deadpool, either. They should go back to basics. Look at several elements from the first two mini-series (from 1993 & 1994) and Joe Kelly's run. They can also take a note or two from Brian Posehn & Gerry Duggan's Deadpool. They seem to building up to quite a story (with the

Well can't change your opinon, but like BoredGuy said Uncanny X-Force really gave Deadpool alot of dpeth and was pretty friggen solid. I think it would be a huge mistake to leave him out of this. It's pretty much the only team he belongs on. Plus he interacts with Cable and Domino pretty well and has a large amount of history there. Would seem like a piece is missing.
